Chandigarh: Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh on Saturday, dedicated his 'Dil-Luminati' concert in Chandigarh to India's newly-crowned International Chess Federation (FIDE) World Champion, Gukesh Dommaraju.

He praised Gukesh's hard work and dedication from a young age to achieve his dreams. Taking to his Instagram handle, he shared a video from the concert. "This concert is dedicated to the world chess champion Gukesh," Diljit said during his concert.

He also shared that while one has to face challenges in life, the one who knows how to deal with them ends up achieving the target.

Gukesh made history on Thursday by becoming the youngest champion in the sport's history, defeating China's Ding Liren in the final game of their FIDE World Championship match.

Gukesh received his FIDE World Championship trophy following his remarkable triumph the subsequent day.

The championship, which was tied at 6.5-6.5 heading into the final game, concluded with a stellar performance by Gukesh, who secured a 7.5-6.5 victory over Ding Liren, according to FIDE's official website.

Diljit also referred to Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa movie's famous dialogue "Jhukega Nahi" in his own way, saying "Saala nahi jhukega toh kya jija jhuk jayega".

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's wife also attend the 'Dil-Luminati' concert in Chandigarh.

Meanwhile, prior to his show, the Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CCPCR) issued an advisory urging him to avoid performing alcohol-themed songs during his live performance.

The advisory, issued by CCPCR chairperson Shipra Bansal on Thursday, specifically referenced songs such as 'Patiala Peg', '5 Tara', and 'Case', cautioning against performing even modified versions that promote alcohol, drugs, or violence.

Earlier, on November 15, the Telangana government also served Dosanjh with a legal notice instructing him not to perform songs that promote alcohol, drugs, or violence. (ANI)
